Shell
Shell Development (Australia) Pty Ltd (SDA) has a large and active exploration program as well as development interests in a number of known oil and gas fields.
Upcoming developments
SDA holds an interest in about 20% of an estimated 136 trillion cubic feet (tcf) of the gas resources in Australian waters. SDA have a one-sixth interest in the North West Shelf Venture as well as equity interests in other developments including the Gorgon Joint Venture (which recently took FID), the Browse Joint Venture and Sunrise Joint Venture. Shell is also an operator, and intends to develop its 100% interest in the Prelude gas field, offshore northwest Australia, using Shell’s innovative Floating Liquefied Natural Gas technology. It is also active in the coal seam gas industry, with its proposed Shell Australia LNG Project in Gladstone, Queensland.
SDA currently employs experienced oil & gas professionals in the following areas:
- Reservoir Engineering
- Well Engineering
- Geosciences
- Facilities Engineering
- LNG Commercialisation
- Economics and Planning
- Legal
The future of Shell
This is a business of very long-term plans and substantial investment. It involves acquiring and developing new exploration areas, making oil and gas discoveries and bringing them to market.
In the near future we will commence building up our operations capability in time for our Prelude development. Future opportunities and expressions of interest are encouraged by any candidates with substantial LNG experience.
The Prelude development will be Shell’s first operated gas development project in Australia. As the gas reserves are too small and remote for development by a conventional pipeline-to-onshore LNG plant, Prelude is well suited to development ‘in situ’ using Shell’s Floating LNG (FLNG) technology. If FLNG were used for Prelude, it would be one of the first facilities of its kind in the world, possibly the first.
